Default Re: Home tourny all-in decision

3 handed, you should have raised to $3k preflop with that hand.

Anyway, preflop, there's 12K in the pot. You have $12K left, SB has $5K, BB has $21K.

Flop gives you two overs, plus the flush. Forgetting about the two overs here (since we know he had the straight), you're a 2:1 dog to hit the flush. Plus a Jack gives you the nut straight, so really, you have 12 outs, making you about a 6:5 underdog to win.

SB checks, BB goes all in.

Effectively, there's $24K in the pot for you, not counting SB possible money. Calling gives you 2:1 on your money, so you're getting the right price, since you're in a basic coin flip situation here.

So no, it's not a bad call. It just sucks flopping a straight and losing to the flush.
